Former Colts assistant Brad White hired by Kentucky

As the Indianapolis Colts wait to name their new head coach, several of the former assistant coaches have found new jobs elsewhere. The latest is Brad White, who has been hired by the Kentucky Wildcats.

White has been with the Colts since 2012, serving in various roles as a defensive assistant.

His first season in 2012 he served as the defensive quality control coach and then was promoted in 2014 to the position of assistant linebackers coach. He spent the past three seasons as the outside linebackers coach.

He will serve in the same position with the Wildcats.

“When I talked to Brad, he impressed me with his expertise, his NFL experience and what a very, very good technician he is,” said Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops. “Brad came highly recommended from people I know at Indianapolis. In addition to his knowledge of coaching linebackers, he has ‘big picture’ expertise.”

The Colts have seen many of their assistants find other jobs for both professional and college teams, which means they will have plenty of voids to fill on the coaching staff when the team officially announces the new head coach.
